Resource Limits vs Requests

[jonstelly]

There seems to be some sort of requirement that resource Limits <= Requests for all containers in a pod? Another report of this from 2019: #17.

I've requested some documentation improvements https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/78032 but is there any way to improve this? For my case I've got linkerd and knative sidecars being injected into my pod and if I set limits and requests equal on those it eats up all the resources in my non-ACI nodes.

Would it be possible to change the logic so ACI calculates the sum of all container's limits and requests, then uses the maximum value?
